Want to brag about having dinner at the iconic Eiffel Tower? You’re not alone! This Parisian landmark offers more than just stunning views; it also boasts two exceptional restaurants, each catering to different appetites and budgets.
58 Tour Eiffel: Casual Chic with a View
This restaurant, perched on the first level of the tower, offers a unique blend of casual elegance and French brasserie charm. The ambiance is sophisticated yet welcoming, with two levels designed to showcase the breathtaking views of the Trocadero and the Seine River.
While the restaurant doesn’t require a three-month reservation, it still offers a gourmet experience. The menu features modern French cuisine with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. You’ll find a range of options, from light lunch buffets to a more elaborate dinner service.
Lunch: Enjoy a self-service buffet for a reasonable €18-€23.
Dinner: Indulge in a table service experience starting at €67-€125.
Looking for a more budget-friendly option? 58 Tour Eiffel offers great deals that may include Champagne and skip the long wait times! I’ve even arranged for you to snag a discounted package deal that includes a Paris orientation tour, lunch at the Eiffel Tower, and a Seine River cruise. This is a fantastic way to explore the City of Lights!
Le Jules Verne: Haute Cuisine with a Touch of Romance
For those seeking a truly unforgettable dining experience, Le Jules Verne is the epitome of Parisian luxury. Situated on the second level of the tower, accessible only by private elevator, this restaurant offers a panoramic view of the city that’s simply breathtaking.
While it’s true that reservations for dinner are booked months in advance, don’t let that deter you. This restaurant is a haven for romantic occasions and special celebrations. If you’re looking for a truly memorable dining experience in Paris, Le Jules Verne is a must-visit.
Consider this: Le Jules Verne is all about the occasion, the romantic setting, and the exquisite atmosphere. It’s not just about the food, although the culinary delights are created by none other than renowned chef Alain Ducasse!
Be prepared to spend – dinner prices average over €150, but lunch offers a more budget-friendly option.
Beyond the Restaurants: Champagne Bar and Snacks
If you’re looking for a quick bite or a casual drink, the Eiffel Tower offers a range of options:
-
Champagne Bar: This bar, located on the top floor, offers unrivaled panoramic views. You can enjoy a glass of premium champagne for €10-€20.
-
Snacks and Drinks: You can find hot and cold drinks, and snacks for €10 or less throughout the tower, from the bottom to the third floor.
Important Tip: To avoid long wait times (which can average 3-4 hours), book your tickets in advance! I highly recommend pre-booking a package deal that includes lunch and a Seine River cruise – it’s a great way to experience Paris!
